Prop Video Player (now with audio!)

Rayman

Just got a Propeller video player working!

Plays video on TV at 160x120 resolution and 30 fps with 22050 sample/second mono audio from SD card.

The audio is interleaved with the video data in a single file...

Uses the new fsrw 2.3 to get the required data rate.

Just converted the "Professor Propeller" video.· Only problem is that the file is really big...
I'll have to see what I can upload here...

Note that converting a video to the required format is a very painful, slow process using several Windows apps (including a Photoshop batch mode to process every frame).· If anybody wants to work on an automatic video file converter, I'd be happy to supply all the info!

Update:· I just uploaded a little video of it playing (MOV format in a zip file...)

Ok, I've clipped out 10 seconds of video that can I could zip and get under the forum's 2 MB limit...

Have you tried using VirtualDub? It'll easily output uncompressed video, or save each frame as a bitmap while resizing the source video.

Yes, I used to use it a lot... I did actually use VirtualDub this time to extract the wav audio...

But, the only usable source file I had was in wmf format, which it didn't like...

I used Pinnacle Studio to reformat the video to 160x120, 30 fps.

PS: There are several strange, bad frames in this source video that had me thinking there was something wrong with the player at first...
I have the source video in avi format too, but I can't get any codec working for it...
